From time to time, players are also called upon to help expand the game, whether it be new puzzles (developed on Game Gardens), island objects to be used on new oceans (servers), or artwork used for a variety of purposes in-game. Islands are governed and shoppes are managed exclusively by players.

Over time, pirates can join a crew, progress in rank within that crew, buy and run sailing vessels and shoppes, and perhaps even become captain of a crew, royalty within a flag (an alliance of crews), or governor of an island. Puzzle Pirates is open-ended and community-driven. For example, to effectively sail a ship, players must play puzzle games representing work at the sails for speed, pumping bilge water to remove it from the ship, and carpentry to fix any damage the ship may take. The mechanics of Puzzle Pirates are driven by puzzles. The player takes the role of a pirate, adventuring on the high seas and pillaging money (" pieces of eight") from roaming enemy ships (human or computer-controlled). Puzzle Pirates (also known as Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates) is a massively multiplayer online game developed by Three Rings Design (Later owned by Grey Havens LLC). Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad (No longer supported)
